AWD Powertrain: First Indigenous Electric QWD SUV
The biggest feature of the Harrier EV is its all-wheel drive (AWD) powertrain, which Tata has named QWD (Quad-Wheel Drive). This electric SUV is the company’s first vehicle to feature an AWD system since the Safari Storm. Also, it is India’s first indigenous electric AWD SUV.
It has a dual-motor setup, with one motor mounted on the front axle and the other on the rear axle. The front motor generates 155 hp power, while the rear motor produces 234 hp power. In this way, the total torque output is 504 Nm, making it extremely capable for off-road and high-performance driving.
540-degree surround view: Access to under-vehicle view
Usually cars are equipped with a 360-degree camera system, but Tata Harrier EV has surpassed it by bringing a 540-degree surround view system. It not only provides a 360-degree view, but also has a transparent mode, with the help of which the driver can also see the situation under the car. This feature proves to be very useful during off-road driving.
Terrain Modes: Different settings for every terrain
The Harrier EV comes with 6 different terrain modes, which give it better performance on different surfaces:
- Normal (for normal roads)
- Grass/Snow (for grassy or snowy roads)
- Mudruts/Gravel (for mud or gravel roads)
- Sand (for driving on sand)
- Rock Crawl (for rocky roads)
- User-configurable (driver can set as per his preference)
Additionally, the AWD system has driving modes like Boost, Sport, City and Eco, while the RWD variants get Eco, City and Sport modes.
New infotainment system: World’s first Neo QLED display
To make the interior of the Tata Harrier EV even more premium, it has a 14.53-inch cinematic touchscreen designed by Harman. This is the world’s first Neo QLED automotive display, which uses Samsung’s latest technology.
Along with this, the car has a JBL Black 10-speaker sound system, which comes with Dolby Atmos support. This system has been used in a car for the first time in the world, which gives a theater-like experience to the passengers.
New Digital Key and Smart Access
Tata has equipped the Harrier EV with digital key technology, allowing the owner to access the car without a physical key with the help of a phone or smartwatch. Apart from this, an option of a smart card has also been given.
The most important thing is that Tata has also designed a new circular key fob, from which the user can control 11 different functions, such as:
- Remote Park (parking the car from a distance)
- Summon Mode (calling the car near you)
- And many more advanced features
